Yes, very useful indeed

Not least given the amount of poop Lego dogs seem to deposit across sets

Characters like that often have splats to emphasise the role such as the various mechanics, the cake boy, artist, etc.

The series 17 chef (who is much more similar to a chocolatier than any of the other professions you listed) didn’t though. So it’s not like there’s any hard precedent.

Or monkeys throw there poop at Lego minifigures! Or fall on a cow poop at a farm.

I assume MOTU are not the most likely to get a CMF :tongue:

The trailer is out, and I have to say, the whole enviroment looks more like a computer game rather than a film. And yeah, would guess the film isn´t really something for fans of franchise.

@Roebuck It‘s the least likely out of all the suggestions I‘ve heard because MOTU is owned by Mattel. There‘s no reason for them to give their competitor a license when they have two construction toy brands at their disposal (Mega & Brick Shop).

TLG collaborate with Hasbro now, sure, but that friendship was forged out of the ashes of Kre-o‘s demise :laugh_hard:

My money‘s still on Shrek, even though it‘d be kinda weird to have a CMF series this year and potential sets next year, even if the former is based on the first 4 movies and the latter on the 5th one. Shrek feels like a franchise that is best served with playsets anyway :classic:

But yeah, a better candidate still hasn‘t emerged so far.

Rumour has it that the next series is based on a 2026 film that constitutes a new license. The leaker calls it S30, but that doesn‘t make any sense :tongue:

If it‘s a film getting released after the series does, it’s either Street Fighter, Jumanji 4, or Narnia. Any other ideas?

Masters of the Universe!

He-Man & Skeletor, here we go.

Latest leaks name three code-named themes that are ‘new IP and returning’:

(one set: 72306 $160)

(three sets: 72421 [12+], 72422 [12+], 72423 $120)

Lollipop (one set: 72537 $70) 

And I’m dropping the info here because conceivably one of these could be a tie in set for the September CMF since new IP is mentioned. (I suspect B is the rumored K-Pop Demon Hunters sets and one of the others is supposedly a returning theme, but that still leaves a medium or large sized set)

It seems prudent to bring up the possibility, since the biggest sticking point for IPs like Shrek and Narnia is “majorly important quadrupedal characters are too large to be a Minifigure accessory”, which having a tie in set would fix.

If Stonewars' list is correct, this theme will be based on a video game IP with a release date of October, so this one at least is unrelated to the CMF series. Your general point still stands though (apart form the weird "potential 2027 movie" thing that still perplexes me).

What game would TLG even allow to be in their portfolio to warrant such a pricey set?

We're about to get a $650 Pokémon set, so this isn't outrageous for a gaming IP :laugh_hard: Besides, we had other video game one-offs with a higher price tag, like the Atari 2600 or the Pac-Man arcade machine. I'm more curious what IP it could be! Hopefully another Nintendo one!

I suppose that could still theoretically work in conjunction with the CMF if the license in question is Street Fighter. We still don’t know if any of these are connected to the CMF though, it’s all just a ‘what if’ to keep in mind while we wait for more info.

I would not rule He-man out. Looking at the mattel website it looks like Mattel is not Very active with their Mega building blocks. Only Some duplo like and hot wheels building sets show up on the US website. Perhaps they are stopping with Mega blocks and are licensing or partnering with LEGO. Mattel not having the Pokémon license renewed with LEGO taking over may also be a sign that Mattel is no longer interrested in the building block segment

If they would do that, they wouldn´t have just recently started with another Brick label, Mattel Brick Shop.

Could it be Turtles? I see they get a brickheads set:shrug_oh_well:

Possibly, but a moot point for this thread since the September CMF is apparently an IP that’s never had sets before, so if P, B, or Lollipop is connected to the CMF it can’t also be the one that’s a returning theme.

Maybe that‘s too much of a technicality, but if the CMF series shares a license with one of the three themes, it would technically not be new anymore by the point it releases :snicker: After all, „B“ is scheduled for June, „Lollipop“ for August, and „P“ for October, with the latter allegedly being based on a videogame. 

The timeframe would even be weirder, assuming it‘s actually a 2027 movie. So sets in the summer of 2026, a CMF series in September, and the movie some time next year, possibly with more sets? Not impossible, but the CMF series being unrelated sounds more plausible to me.

That was started in January 2025 so already a year ago. I see only four buildable cars being available so it hardly seems succesfull. Perhaps Mattel has been thinking “if you can’t beat LEGO, join them”. LEGO has been doing Very well with IP related properties so it could be interresting for Mattel.

You could of course be right that Mattel does not want to co-operatie with LEGO but it would certainly be cool if the CMF series 30 would be He-man

It’s Shrek!! We also have the list already:

  • Shrek
  • Fiona (ogre)
  • Dragon
  • Puss in Boots
  • Gingy
  • Farquad
  • Charming
  • Fairy Godmother
  • Merlin
  • Executioner

So like that Scooby Doo mold from 10 years ago?
